Inside Oracle's Data Integration community

Tuesday Feb 18, 2014

Simply amazing! That’s how I would summarize last week’s
webcast for Oracle GoldenGate 12c. It was a very interactive event with hundreds of live attendees and hundreds of great questions. In the presentation part my
colleagues, Doug Reid and Joe deBuzna, went over the new features of Oracle GoldenGate 12c. They explained Oracle GoldenGate 12c key new features including:

We also had a nice long and live Q&A section. In the previous Oracle GoldenGate webcasts, we could not respond to all audience questions in a 10-15 minute timeframe at the end of the presentation. This
time we kept the presentation part short and left more than 30 minutes for
Q&A. To our surprise, we could not answer even half of the questions we
received.

If you missed this great webcast discussing the new features of Oracle GoldenGate 12c, and more than 30 minutes of Q&A with GoldenGate Product Management, you can still watch it on demand via the
link below.

7) How can GoldenGate be
better than database trigger to push data into custom tables?

Triggers can cause high CPU overhead, in some cases almost
double compared to reading from redo or transaction logs. In addition, they are
intrusive to the application and cause management overhead as application
changes. Oracle GoldenGate's log-based change data capture is not only low-impact in terms of CPU utilization, but also non-intrusive to the application with low maintenance requirements.

8) Are there any
customers in the manufacturing industry using GoldenGate and for which application?

We have many references in manufacturing. In fact,
SolarWorld USA was our guest speaker in the executive video webcast last
November. You can watch the interview here.
RIM Blackberry uses Oracle GoldenGate for multi-master replication between its global
manufacturing systems. Here is another manufacturing customer story from AkzoNobel.

9) Does GoldenGate 12c support compressed objects for replication? Also does it supports BLOB/CLOB
columns?

Yes, GoldenGate 12c and GoldenGate 11gR2 both support
compressed objects. GoldenGate has been supporting BLOB/CLOB columns since version 10.

Yes. To use GoldenGate 12c’s Integrated Delivery, for the target environment Oracle Database 11.2.04 and above is
required .

11) We have Oracle
Streams implementation for more than 5 years. We would like to migrate to
GoldenGate, however older version of GoldenGate were not supporting filtering
individual transactions. Is it supported in GoldenGate 12c?
